Chapter 63

It was our first night sleeping in the same bed. We were both completely wiped out. By the time I opened my eyes, it was already noon. Even though I thought I was ready last night, I still lost all self-control under Ella’s heat. I couldn’t get enough of her. The way she whispered her love to me—it hit harder than anything else. But I didn’t push her any further. I wanted her to get some real rest. Now she’s lying quietly next to me. I call her name softly, but she doesn’t wake up. I had to leave the room and head downstairs. After grabbing some lunch, the housekeeper mentioned the sports car had been fully detailed. I handled a few quick reports, then tiptoed back upstairs and saw Ella still fast asleep. She had on my oversized black hoodie, the loose fabric barely covering her curves. Her shoulder was peeking out, marked up with love bites—I remembered exactly how they got there. She shifted onto her other side, revealing more faint marks. The blanket was only pulled back on my side.
